(CNN)Near hurricane-force wind gusts and heavy rain are set to batter the Northeast Sunday on the five-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy.

Tropical Storm Philippe formed near western Cuba a few days ago and was racing up the Atlantic Ocean off the East Coast early Sunday.
"We are in an exceptional season. We saw Harvey in Texas, Irma in Florida and then we have Maria across Puerto Rico. Now we got another tropical storm," said CNN meteorologist Karen Maginnis.


Phillipe is not expected to become a hurricane but will produce rainfall totals of 2-4 inches and up to 8 inches in sections of the Northeast and New England, forecasters said.
Wind gusts could reach speeds of 50-60 mph.

That would definitely be to the advantage of the Cowboys. But would the league postpone the the game because of those conditions?

Good question .........guarantee you it's being discussed

They'll definitely play, while it looks like it will rain the whole game, but wind won't exceed 20 miles an hour until 8 p.m. the wind forecast for game time is 5-15mph.

I don't think I'd call 6-12mph winds 'hurricane like', but it will be a very wet day for sure.

Most of the rain you are seeing right now in the upper and north east areas of the country is from a low front that has been pushing through the country the last few days, not the tropical storm, which is still down near Florida. That said, the tropical storm may be making the front a little more active. Based on the last projections I saw, the winds from the outer edges of the tropical storm shouldn't hit the DC area until later on tonight after the game is over.

I live in Skins territory in Virginia. Only forecast here for game is Thunderstorms with 12-15 mph winds.

That doesn't sound good.

How bad is it for these guys to throw in the rain? Serious question

Danny Boy with all his money cannot build a dome stadium with a retractable roof. Figured once Jerry built his, Danny boy wouldn't be far behind.

Soft soggy fields are not good for hamstrings.

Cowboy trainers also not good for hamstrings.

Went through the bands yesterday. I got 2+ inches. Just south of me got 5-6"s.

Didn't notice too much wind.

 

[aikemirv]

live 90 miles south of DC. Most of the rain i past here and looks like it will be well past DC soon....

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

I'm in Towson, MD..like an hour north. Nothing that severe expected. At the gym right now. It's low 60's and wet ...no wind.

 

[Stash]

Cowboy trainers also not good for hamstrings.

 

[erod]

Rain and 13 mph winds during the game.

Getting out of there afterward might be difficult though. Worse weather could shut the airports down a while tonight.

Yes, because heaven forbid a football game actually be played outdoors in the weather.
